"...will drop support... There. FIFY."
No, i386 got dropped almost 4 years ago. The interrupts are handled differently from later processors and they decided it was a bit too faffy to support.
Mostly doesn't affect anything because most distros have only supported 586 and above for a long time.
32 bit x86 - for, internally, Linux calls the architecture x86 - well, a few distros have dropped support for it, but it hasn't gone away yet.
